(Closed) How long should the sparklers be for the send-off?

I’m looking for bees who have participatsparkly sparkler send-off before. How long do they need to be? The price goes waaaaay up for the extra length, but I certainly don’t want to get ones that are too short and don’t work well. Any thoughts? Suggestions on good vendors would be appreciated as well!

I am in the same boat. I went ahead and ordered the 20” sparklers because the 36” ones looked SO long and IMO kind of silly. That being said, when I lit one of the 20” sparklers that I bought and timed it, it only lasted for 1:12…which I don’t think is enough time. I am going to go ahead and order two per guest so that way they can light the second one if their first one goes out. My problem now is trying to decide how many people will actually stay until the end of the reception.

We bought the 36″ ones and I think it was worth it! Remember, not all your guests will stay til the end of the night, so you don’t have to buy 1/person. I think for our ~100 guests, we had 60 sparklers. They lasted over 5 minutes when we tested them.
